Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.

Accounts will largely be focused on the Media & Entertainment vertical (supporting TV networks, streaming services, and movie studios), and may also include supporting non-entertainment accounts in the automotive, pharmaceutical, or other verticals.

What You'll Do

  • Client Delivery & Insights: Own end-to-end strategy, delivery, and fulfillment for a small portfolio of key accounts (1-2 key accounts). Act as a strategic and operational escalation path for accounts in your direct reports’ portfolios.
  • Strategy & Business Partnership: Work closely with sales leaders to define opportunities for proactive outreach and insights delivery to key customers.

  • You are growth-oriented and service-minded. You’ve demonstrated a clear growth path in your life and career. You get excited about the opportunity to support, help, and serve customers and you actively seek opportunities to help them solve their challenges. 

Required Experience & Skills

  • Familiarity with TV and movie measurement solutions, including box office measurement, tune-in measurement, and audience and content measurement, research, and insights.
